Yes now is the time to buy your first Johnson County Home. $8000 for you.

This is an outstanding opportunity for the First Time Home Buyers.

The Congress has signed into law the legislation providing first time home buyers with a credit of $8000!

Time is of the essence. The home purchase must happen before December 1st, 2009. This is really not a lot of time to check one's credti report, FICO Score, take care of needed repairs or corrections, find a responsible and reputable mortgage lender, shop for most suitable financing option, finding friendly and knowledgeable Realtor, start the house search quest, arrange for sale of a current house, include vacations, save for downpayment, everyday life etc, etc...all of these take a lot of time and lots of planning. To find information about location, neighborhood, schools etc is not an easy and quick task.But don't worry. You are not alone, you have a friend in the business!

Let's meet together and I will help you plan for new home ownership.
